Fall Registration for
Spring 2024

Registration opens for students according to their entry class and year level. Students should check the PeopleSoft Student Center for their registration appointment time or refer to the chart below. On the appointed day, registration opens at 7:30 a.m. Once registration is open to a student, the system remains available 24 hours a day.

Students are encouraged to register as soon as registration is open to them to increase the likelihood of obtaining their choice of course and course section. Advising is required before registering and the advising period runs from October 23 to November 3. Students register themselves online through PeopleSoft Campus Solutions.

For connection and systems problems, students are encouraged to contact the Help Desk at 315-781-4357 or helpdesk@hws.edu.

Students who have had a year level classification change will still be allowed to register with their entry class. Check your assigned registration appointment time in your PeopleSoft Student Center.

Non-matriculated students must complete a Non-Matriculated Student Application Form and submit it to the respective Dean of the College, Smith Hall. Non-matriculated students are not admitted into courses until the first week of classes (January 22 - 26).

DROP/ADD

    • Spring Semester 2024 Drop/Add week is January 22 - 26.
    • Students are encouraged to discuss changes with their advisor in advance. An instructor’s signature is not required to add or drop a course during the first week of classes, unless the course is closed, the student does not meet pre-requisites, or the course carries the footnote "permission needed from Instructor."
    • After January 26 students should refer to the policy section on dropping and adding courses beyond the drop/add period.
